5.8.26 | Focusing On May Originals
May is shaping up to be a big one.
Last Friday I dropped LOVE THE WAY IT FOLDS — a step deeper into SynthR&B territory. If you've followed my journey from synthwave into R&B and beyond, this one continues that evolution. It's where the emotion lives.
Today, RIGHT WHERE I AM is out now — and this one sits right alongside LOCKED IN THE TETHER and PULL ME CLOSER. High-energy, made to move. If those tracks found you dancing or in the car with the volume up, this one belongs in the same space.
Two originals in two weeks, and I'm not slowing down.
On the 15th I'm releasing a cover that's been living in my head for a while — a take on the recently viral "Let Me Be", reimagined in full cinematic synth. And if everything goes to plan, there may be two more originals before the month is out.
May feels like a moment. I hope you'll be there for it. 💜

4.10.26 | Exploring new genres with 'STILLWATER'
While I'm rooted in synthwave and synthpop, I've been experimenting with pushing my sound into new territory. I've already explored R&B, ambient techno, and noir-soul — and now STILLWATER is my experiment with ambient R&B inspired by lullabies.
This EP was designed as a mini-journey. It opens with STARLIGHT BLANKET, an R&B pop ballad, then eases you into deep relaxation with SOFT LIGHT, and finally carries you off to sleep with STILLWATER.
While I'll still be releasing tracks in my established genres, I'll periodically be branching out and trying new things like this — I hope you enjoy them!
